The rich own the means of ownership. They own the means of owning the means of ownership. Piracy is about preserving and growing something else aside from ownership as a means of having a human culture.
If anyone thought for one second that the property owning class was being "contradictory" in how they flopped from "stealing is illegal" to "stealing is how we make humanity immortal in a cryogenic goo uploaded to the cloud," thats because you dont talk to enough pirates!
